[Trombone-l] Basic and trombone (was New place, old desires)

[billdin@comcast.net]

Negative, sir. I did have one day leave during my 8 week vacation, and, as we were not allowed to cross the border into Juarez, I got very, very drunk that night in El Paso. Ahhhh....the good ol' days. 



Don't think I would want to go to Juarez for ANY reason today. Too bad what is happening down there.

I always thought that was pretty ironic myself. 

San Antone? 

Did you EVER get to see the city???? 


We never got into Orlando during my 8 weeks there.  Cryin' shame.
